mmc: core: Drop reference counting of the bus_ops

When the mmc_rescan work is enabled for execution (host->rescan_disable),
it's the only instance per mmc host that is allowed to set/clear the
host->bus_ops pointer.

Besides the mmc_rescan work, there are a couple of scenarios when the
host->bus_ops pointer may be accessed. Typically, those can be described as
as below:

*)
Upper mmc driver layers (like the mmc block device driver or an SDIO
functional driver) needs to execute a host->bus_ops callback. This can be
considered as safe without having to use some special locking mechanism,
because they operate on top of the struct mmc_card. As long as there is a
card to operate upon, the mmc core guarantees that there is a host->bus_ops
assigned as well. Note that, upper layer mmc drivers are of course
responsible to clean up from themselves from their ->remove() callbacks,
otherwise things would fall apart anyways.

**)
Via the mmc host instance, we may need to force a removal of an inserted
mmc card. This happens when a mmc host driver gets unbind, for example. In
this case, we protect the host->bus_ops pointer from concurrent accesses,
by disabling the mmc_rescan work upfront (host->rescan_disable). See
mmc_stop_host() for example.

This said, it seems like the reference counting of the host->bus_ops
pointer at some point have become superfluous. As this is an old mechanism
of the mmc core, it a bit difficult to digest the history of when that
could have happened. However, let's drop the reference counting to avoid
unnecessary code-paths and lockings.
